Special delivery
I once delivered a baby to 15 year old from Herne Bay. She wasn't the brightest spark, and when I took the vacuum cup off the baby's head and handed her a lovely girl, she asked me "will today be my baby's birthday?"

My grandad...
My grandad had a thin pencil moustache and was (i thought) the spitting image of David Niven. I couldn't quite understand how he spoke with a posh English accent in films rather than his native Geordie and couldn't do so in real life.
He had a cavalry sabre displayed in the entrance hall and every time we would visit he would tell us how he had skewered four Germans on it in one go. Turns out he never left England in the war, but was a fireman & the sword was his brothers.
When we used to sit down on a saturday evening and watch Dad's Army, I always though it said "Have you been watching" at the end. I could never work out why anyone would want to check. Or why there wasn't a question mark.
